ACT NOW! TELL THE HOUSE TO KILL S. 510, THE FOOD FASCISM BILL:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5270
“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by intermittent Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.” Attribution: Wendell Phillips, speech in Boston, Massachusetts, January 28, 1852.—Speeches Before the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, p. 13 (1853) – http://www.bartleby.com/73/1073.html
Yes, “Eternal vigilance… [and] intermittent Agitation…” are needed to keep the fake “food safety” bill S.510 and its ugly companions, the criminalization-of-food-speech S.3767 and the discredited dietary supplement “safety” bill S.3002 at bay…
A desperate Senate lame-duck majority sees its last chances to impose Food Fascism on America dwindling fast. The authors of this horror, primarily Reid and Harkin, can be expected to try any maneuver in their parliamentary-bag-of-tricks to sneak S.510 (and perhaps the other bad bills) through Congress during the waning hours of the session… and they have about two weeks to do so!
Says one commentator: “Senate sponsor of “the most dangerous legislation in history” – S 510 – Sen. Tom Harkin (IA) insists they’ll find a way to get this FDA food control package through – despite the fact that the House has pointed out its unconstitutionality – (Due to King Harry’s Senate passing a law full of new taxes) a job reserved by the U.S. Constitution for the House of Representatives only.”
See: http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/1210/Harkin_Nothing_will_kill_food_safety_bill.html
Says Harkin: “nothing is going to kill this bill.”
Let’s show him how wrong he is: Please continue to use the Action Item below to bombard the House (which is now the best hope to Kill the Bill) — Just Vote NO!

Getting a good night’s sleep tonight and every night is a problem for countless people. Poor sleep is associated with poor concentration, depression, depressed immune function, decreased disease resistance and the development of multiple problems.
Disordered sleep architecture, produced by sleeping drugs, does not allow healthful function and full repair during the sleep hours and wakefulness is wearing on both the emotional and physical body.
One way of promoting sleep without drugs is found in the rich 5 Element system for health and regulation. Come join our5 Elements Intensive Seminar participants, in whose week of instruction this course is included, in a 4-session lecture and experiential series.
You will learn techniques that you can use every night to bring healthy sleep to your pillow!
Tuition: $60

5 Element Intensive Seminar: January 10-14, 2010
The Chinese 5 Elements Theory offers information and action options for food, health, organ systems and their diseases, sound, colors, tastes and energy.
Our focus will be on what you can do yourself, using the rich 5 Elements Theory to create health and healing practices for yourself.
The 5 Elements are related by their characteristics and their interactions and form the basis for Traditional Oriental Medicine, Qi Gong, acupuncture, etc.
Come spend a week learning about the 5 Elements, eating DELICIOUS 5 elements food (all BeyondOrganic, of course!) which you’ll learn to prepare and use for health in our teaching kitchen every morning, learn the 5 Elements diagnostic and treatment systems for conditions and diseases, explore sound and color as part of health and healing, understand the basis of Fung Shui and much, much more!
Each of the five days of the Intensive Week will be devoted to a different Element
We’ll explore its color, sound, organs, foods, etc. each day. In fact, you’ll learn how to make your own non-toxic paints using milk and natural toxins so you can create (and teach) the 5 Elements
All meals will be provided at the Valley of the Moon Restaurant and Cafe and will be, of course, BeyondOrganic. Each day’s meals will focus on a different member of the 5 element’s food, flavor, impact, etc.
Our instructor, well-known opera singer, Angela Malek, can be seen here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC8T1GkD0XY , in a brief introductory video along with Natural Solutions Foundation Trustee Ralph Fucetola.
The 5 Element Intensive starts with an optional 5 Elements Welcome Banquet on Sunday night, January 9, 2011 at the Valley of the Moon Restaurant. Our BeyondOrganic™ 5 Elements Feast will be served for Seminar participants and others on a space limited basis on Sunday evening, January 9, 2011 at 6:30 PM. Please call 6939 5226 for reservations. Cost: $25 per person including beverage (non alcoholic). BYOB. Space is limited so please reserve early.
January 10-14, 2011. Every day will begin with a 5 Elements BeyondOrganic breakfast and discussion beginning our focus on that day’s element.
After breakfast, we’ll move to the teaching kitchen for a practical lesson during which we’ll prepare part of the food for the day, focusing on the curative and preventive properties of the foods and herbs. If you are interested in attending the cooking portion of the course only, you may do so on a strictly space-limited basis.
Seminar participants will take a break for a 5 Elements snack in keeping with our day’s theme, then experiential or lecture sessions will take us to lunch.
Of course, that’s part of the day’s lesson, too, as our food takes us deeper into the 5 Elements experience. We’ll take a bit of time off, then back to our Intensive afternoon program, complete with 5Elements snack and dinner.
Each evening after dinner we’ll be looking at sleep management from a 5 Elements point of view. So from 7:30 to 9 PM each evening we will use sound, movement, breathing and other techniques to learn how to invite and maintain good sleep every night, night after night. For those people not taking the full Seminar, attendance at the evening program, Welcoming Sleep the 5 Elements Way, is possible on a space-limited basis. The 4 lecture series is available for a Tuition of $60. Registration is for the full 4 session series only.
5 Elements Farewell Breakfast and departure: January 15, 2011

The US Senate Voted to End Food Freedom Today…
Tragically, the Senate of the United States served their Corporate masters rather than either you, truth, sanity, freedom or sworn duty.
Here, these decision makers said, “Eat this rotten phud*, the bread of sorrow, sickness and slavery, while we eat carrion, as we dine on the dead body of YOUR right to decide what kind of food you will be able to eat, or grow locally…”
Of course, the Natural Solutions Foundation and you, our allies and associates, are not done or defeated. We are already bombarding the House to defeat this bill… up to a hundred people a minute! Whether the hard-liners defeat it because it is too soft on clean food producers, or whether the libertarians defeat it because it restricts what should not be restricted and makes a monstrous agency, the FDA, even more bloated and monstrous, or whether the moderates defeat it because they are aware that not only does it not fix the problem, it must go down under the weight of its own evil absurdity. The transpartisan gathering of freedom lovers, including gardeners, farmers, ranchers, health and food freedom advocates, opponents of big govt, and all the others, that have come together on this issue will continue to work for the restoration of our food freedom. This has just begun!
Some “Health Freedom” groups have “caved in” and are trying to spin you that the bill as passed by the Senate is not so bad, better, really, than it might have been, so everything is OK. They want to “take credit” for the bill being only as bad as it is…
NONSENSE! The bill is a health disaster, a freedom disaster, a small and independent farmer/rancher/gardener disaster and a constitutional disaster. And the Natural Solutions Foundation will continue to fight it through defunding, repeal, legal measures, both civil and criminal, and through continuing to mobilize legitimate dissent and healthful options. We can, of course, only do that because you are with us. It is that simple. We are a team and we are working together for health and freedom.
The right to select clean food is part of that freedom. The right to choose what happens to your body is part of that freedom and the right to direct the attention of our elected legislators to those rights is also part of that freedom.
We do not know how many emails reached Congress. We know that close to 1.5 million reached Congress and the White House, etc.) through our organization alone. Once farm and freedom and food and consumer organizations woke up and started following our lead (we are used to the fact that it takes them a while to wake up on each issue), there is no way to tell how many more emails reached Congress, the White House and other decision makers.
You could see the Senators sweating as they sought to do their Big AgBiz masters’ bidding. It was an ugly sight. So good to know so many will be retired by 2012. For a list of the US Senate Hall of Shame Food Terrorists, see below. And never forget!
Strange Bedfellows!

At Natural Solutions, we’re continuing to build momentum for a grassroots, citizen-led push for repeal. In the coming months we’re going to be developing a range of tools for all Americans to use to make this movement as big and as meaningful as it needs to be. We’ll soon have an interactive map that includes contact information for each U.S. Senator, and we’re also developing a citizen’s guide to repeal, which will be a handbook describing how people can make a difference in this fight for repeal. In that context we bring you an interesting letter from American Solutions:
———–
It’s beginning. What will likely be at least a two year effort to repeal ObamaCare started this week.
On Tuesday, Democratic Senator Max Baucus of Montana introduced legislation in the Senate to repeal part of ObamaCare. He was joined by four other Democrats (and Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts) in moving to repeal a requirement in the law that forces businesses to file paperwork for business transactions with a vendor or supplier if they amount to more than $600 a year, more commonly referred to as the “1099 provision.”
Senator Baucus, a Democrat who actually helped negotiate passage of ObamaCare, cited the destructive impact that the law was having on job creation, arguing that “businesses need to focus their efforts on growing and creating good-paying jobs – not filing paperwork.”
We at American Solutions couldn’t agree more. But this is only the beginning of achieving what Americans want: full repeal of ObamaCare.
Also this week, Senators Scott Brown (R-MA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) introduced legislation to allow states to opt out of the individual mandate in ObamaCare. This comes on the heels of multiple lawsuits challenging the mandate as unconstitutional, as well as passage of a recent ballot measure in Missouri where over 70% of Missourians voted against their state complying with such a requirement. It also comes just days after the Congressional Budget Office found that the average family policy will cost about $2,000 more under ObamaCare than if the government had done nothing.
Ironically, even the White House is now admitting that President Obama’s reordering of the healthcare system will raise costs and reduce the availability of affordable health care.
Last week the Department of Health and Human Services released a list of over 100 companies that are receiving waivers from the burdensome requirements of ObamaCare, citing factors like “whether or not a premium increase is large or if a significant number of enrollees would lose access to their current plan.”
Translation : The White House now has to exempt companies from the new health care law because President Obama’s repeated promises are being broken before our eyes, as ObamaCare will cause premiums to skyrocket and force people to lose their current coverage.
Adding insult to injury is that many of these waiver recipients are actually unions and other labor groups who lobbied strongly for Congress to impose ObamaCare on the rest of us and who helped fund President Obama’s election.
The bottom line is that ObamaCare is so destructive that even Democrats in Congress are trying to repeal parts of it while the Obama White House is granting exemptions left and right to shield its political allies from suffering what it promised all of us would never have to suffer: rate hikes and lost coverage.
At American Solutions, we’re continuing to build momentum for a grassroots, citizen-led push for repeal. In the coming months we’re going to be developing a range of tools for all Americans to use to make this movement as big and as meaningful as it needs to be. We’ll soon have an interactive map that includes contact information for each U.S. Senator, and we’re also developing a citizen’s guide to repeal, which will be a handbook describing how people can make a difference in this fight for repeal.
As always, thanks for everything you do, and stay tuned for more updates from me and American Solutions about ways we can work together to repeal ObamaCare.

Food Fascism (yes, that is not too strong a term!) is just three days away.
To prevent this dire outcome, millions of people must act together over the next couple days! Our Senators are home until Monday when they will be back in Washington, at the “lame duck” congressional session. Over a million emails sent over the past year!
On 11.30.10 the US Senate voted to end Food Freedom. Tell your Congressperson not to make the same mistake that the Senate made: VOTE NO ON S.510! Action Item Here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5270
There is still a bit of time for the Home Folks to tell them what we want: Vote “No!” on S. 510. Even Dr. Coburn’s well-intentioned amendment striping some of the worst clauses from the bill does not go far enough to protect local, organic, family, community food production and distribution! The amendment to which the sponsors and Sen Tester agreed actually reduces the exempt territory from 400 to 275 miles from the farm.
Here are our Talking Points about the bad features of the “Managers’ Version” of the bill: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=6910
And here our up to date analysis: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=7446
THIS IS A CONTINUING RED ALERT!
Last November (2009) just 150,000 emails over one memorable weekend held the bill in committee for nearly a year; the Week before Thanksgiving this year (2010) our system exceeded 5,000 an hour for many hours! Since the start of our campaign in mid 2009 to stop the fake “food safety” bills, over one million emails to decision makers have gone through our Action eAlert system on this issue!
WE NEED EVEN MORE PUSH BACK RIGHT NOW!
PLEASE contact all your online friends and associates — tell them to contact their Senators; we must make this message “go viral” and flood the Senate email system over the next few days! Let them know that a vast and growing transpartisan alliance of health & food freedom advocates, framers, ranchers, gardeners, tea partiers and others have sent millions of messages to Congress: SENATOR: VOTE “NO!” ON S.510!
We do not support any version of the fake “food safety” bill and will work to defund any bill that is adopted and signed into law! We will not forget how each Senator votes on this critical issue!

The Congressional lame duck “leadership” have used every maneuver allowed by their parliamentary procedures to push through the fake “food safety” bills; what will be, essentially, a law that sets the stage for regulatory imposition of industrialize “farming” methods on our local, natural food production and distribution while implementing the worst of Codex Alimentarius’ international restrictions on our freedoms. It would allow imposition of what we have called “Food Fascism” and be a continuation of the Federal Administration’s policy of “seizing the commanding heights” of the economy.
One of those maneuvers has been to tempt several Senators who are normally on the side of local food production to “go along” with this Big AgBiz-written bill in exchange for some changes in the new farm order to be imposed. Those amendments, even if adopted in their most local-food-friendly versions barely begin to allay our fears of Federal Food Fascism.
Let this example suffice:
Earlier today Bloomberg reported, and the Natural Products Association (NPA) spread it around and about that:
Headline: “Small farms would be exempt from food safety regs” — nice sounding?
But read the Text: “Some small farms would be exempt…”
Read the rest here: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9JJ0G700.htm
Bloomberg, we should point out, is the media outlet of the wealthy Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City. Just as a reminder, New York City is not what most people would call a farming community. It does not raise food and is not the home of any significant number of small farms. Just why is Bloomberg organization positioning itself as a Company Man in the food wars which have been thrust upon us by the likes of Monsanto Man, Michael Taylor, now our Food Safety [sic!] Czar? And why would the Natural Products Association take the position that industrializing the US Food Supply is a good thing? We believe that their lawyers are as capable as ours of reading the bills and discerning the disastrous consequences and stipulations. We’ve quoted specific language from the Manager’s Bill that would allow secret regulations, would pave the way to full implementation of Codex Alimentarius (the so-called ‘world food code’ that serves the globalists’ interests) and have shown how the “exemptions” will hardly protect significant proportions of local food production.
Could it be because their membership is heavily weighted to Big Pharma? Given that Big Pharma makes most of the nutrients and “natural products” with which they deal, and given the fact that clean food is a direct threat to Big Pharma, whose income rests on your impaired nutrition and immune system, and given the fact that Big Pharma is also Big AgraBiz and Big Chema and Big Biotech, could it be that NPA (formerly the NNFA) has once again acted the whore to its powerful members as it did when it produced its expensive (rumored to have cost $800,000) “Report” assuring wellness companies that Codex would prove not threat to them or their businesses? see http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=180 for a detailed analysis of that report.
Make no mistake: $.510 will not only hurt small farmers, it will eventually criminalize their activity, and yours if you are growing your own food, and put them out of business. Done. Finished. Over. Ended.
But consider our $.510 Talking Points,http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=6910, first published weeks ago, to see the truth is that only a small percent of local food production and distribution would be exempt from Federal controls under the best of the amendments; only partially protecting a few small family farms, representing a small percentage of local food production, and as inflation kicks in, without indexing, the “protections” will become meaningless. Under one version of the “let them eat cake” amendment, only farms grossing less than $500,000 annually would be exempt… and as inflation kicks in, even with “indexing” pegged to the manipulated CPI, the “protections” will become meaningless.
“In 2009, the majority of family farms (60 percent) had gross sales of less than $10,000, but they accounted for only 2 percent of the total value of agricultural production… Family farms with gross sales of $10,000 to $249,999 were 30 percent of the family farms and were responsible for 18 percent of production. At the other end of the size distribution, the 10 percent of family farms that grossed at least $250,000 accounted for 80 percent of the value of production…” http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/WellBeing/farmhouseincome.htm
Talking Points: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=6910
What percent of local food production would be protected? The above Federal figures do not reveal that, but applying a reasonable distribution curve suggests less than 40%.
Bloomberg’s and NPA’s headlines are misleading and the threat from S.510 is far worse than they imagine.
But we do not need to let that happen. Here’s the plan to STOP S.510!!!
1. Flood Senators’ home offices with calls over the Thanksgiving holiday week; if you know the Senator personally, call him/her direct, or talk to him/her over the Thanksgiving Day table!
2. Begin to flood the Senate with emails starting Sunday 11.28 and peaking throughout 11.29 — our system reached over 5,000 emails an hour for several hours a day, several days last week. Other groups were similarly engaged. We need to do much better.
No time for Thanksgiving yet, no time to pat ourselves on the back! Our Senators are home… it’s time for the Home Folks to tell them what we want: Vote “No!” on S. 510. Even Sen. Testor or Dr. Coburn’s well-intentioned amendments do not go far enough to protect local, organic, family, community food production and distribution!
If the lame duck “leadership” forces this bad bill through the Senate, we will flood the House of Representatives with opposing emails; if it is sent to the White House, we will petition the current occupant to veto the bill; if he signs it, we will demand that the new Congress refuse to fund its provisions, including any funding for more FDA inspectors or for any “HARMonizing” with Codex Alimentarius, or any other provision that restricts Food Freedom!

Right now you and I and our Freedom Mouses are all that stand between Food Freedom under a corrupt FDA and Food Fascism under an FDA on steroids… a true Food Gestapo.
Yours in health and freedom.
